Tumble Lubing--Made Easy & Mess-Free - Cast Boolits

Thread is 10+ pages long but your answer is on page #1-- recipe, ingredients, and techniques. All the rest of the posts are nuggets of information.

A Lee 1 cavity mold sure is slow for hand gun bullets -- makes you appreciate every shot.

I use a Lee six cavity mould and find that they need sizing. I use a Lee sizer and Lee tumble lube. Very good success. I've shot several thousand.
